another update

I tweaked a couple more things and then declared 28 finished last night. It's now up.

( Not that there are any huge surprises to preserve, but just in case. )

I have about one paragraph of 29 written. This one is going to be a challenge. I know exactly what needs to happen and have some good ideas of how to go about it, but forcing myself to put words to screen is another matter. Killing your hero is not an easy task.

And now, to get through the day on four hours sleep; ugh. The fire alarm went off at an ungodly hour, and I couldn't get back to sleep afterwards. I was able to take yesterday off, a comp day for a weekend I worked in June, and it was glorious -- perfect weather, time to read and write and play, some quality husband time since he was working from home. Normally, I would be rested and rejuvenated after such a vacation at home, but not today. Blah.

oh boy

I seem to have gotten myself involved in my first collaboration. kunstarniki put out a call for someone to write Paine's version of "The Confessional", and I couldn't resist. I have been welcomed with enthusiasm, and I've already started drafting the first chapter.

I am absolutely not abandoning "A Guardian's Legacy" -- it is my baby, my first love, and I intend to keep working on it as well. It will be finished eventually. But being involved this amazing group piece was an opportunity I simply could not pass up.

As for an update schedule, we'll see how it goes; I may write on both as the mood strikes me, or alternate chapters, or write a chapter or two of "Still Yet Another Confessional" (or whatever I end up calling it) to get it started, finish AGL 29 (because I simply cannot leave 28 hanging like that for long), and then put AGL on a brief hiatus while I devote myself to the Confessional piece.

Many, many thanks to Ikon and your partners in crime for giving me the chance to work with you all!! I am very much looking forward to it.
